Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 box lemon jello
- 3 eggs
- 240ml vegetable oil
- 240ml water
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, lemon jello powder, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the prepared batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even distribution across the pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to cut.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the cake generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for an even, elegant finish.
- Cut into 12 equal squares and serve. The cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter integration and better rise.
- Don't Overmix: When combining ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
- Grease Pan Thoroughly: Use a non-stick baking spray or butter and flour the pan meticulously to prevent sticking.
- Toothpick Test: Always check cake doneness with the toothpick method - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cake cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting and ensure a beautiful finish.
- Storage Tip: Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its moisture for up to 3 days.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra zesty touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
